an nbc news/"wall street journal"/telemundo poll shows romney losing the hispanic vote by 44 points, a near historic low for any republican candidate in the last decade. his selection of paul ryan likely will not help him improve his standing among those voters, nor among women. ryan will, however, be helpful with rich people. case in point, ryan hit the vegas strip last night for a closed door meeting with billionaire casino magnate sheldon adelson who also happens to be under federal investigation. was it a fund-raiser? the romney campaign insists it was only a finance event. what we may think of as a fund-rai fund-raiser, they call a finance event since no money was paid to attend. just like outsourcing is different than offshoring. and a tax may be different than a penalty. >> the governor believes that what we put in place in massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court's ruling that the mandate was a tax. >> but he agrees with the president that it is not and he believes that you shouldn't call the tax penalty a tax, you should call it a penalty or a fee or a fin
